Eric Holder’s Justice Department Rocked By Nepotism Charges

The head of a Justice Department law enforcement office used his position to secure a job for his son and other relatives, the agency’s internal watchdog said Wednesday, the latest in a string of reports that have repeatedly found examples of nepotism at the department.

It’s not the first example of nepotism at Eric Holder’s Justice Department. A November investigation by the inspector general found that certain offices in the department had a “pervasive culture of nepotism and favoritism.” It’s at least the fifth inspector general report since 2004 to find hiring problems at the agency.

“There is no room for nepotism in the federal government’s hiring practices,” said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “Those hired to serve taxpayers must earn — not be given — the job. I urge the Department of Justice to take the appropriate disciplinary actions for such an abuse of authority.”

The INTERPOL office’s Executive Director, Warren Lewis, also abused his position to help three people with connections to his son obtain jobs at the agency — even though he had never personally met two of them, investigators said.

The nepotism, for lack of a better word, extends to Obama’s choice to replace him. She’s the sorority sister of Holder’s wife. There is no way you can honestly expect her to pursue charges against Holder on any of the scandals that have rocked his tenure.

You know…I’m FAR from being what anyone would call a racist….by Holder would give me a run for my money. I don’t like the guy…I don’t trust the guy…and let’s be clear…I’d feel the same way if he were white, blue, green, yellow, or red! He’s just a bad seed. Loretta Lynch can’t be as bad!
